Story
Meet Waffles a sweet, mature lady who loves nothing more than lounging around and getting belly scratches. Found wandering a wooded area, covered in fleas and seeming quite sad. After a little TLC, her warm and loving personality has started to shine! Waffles is a couch potato at heart and prefers to keep walks short. She is excellent with kids, but not a great fan of other dogs/animals. Waffles is crate trained, and housebroken, and deserving of a good safe spot to enjoy her golden years.  February 8, 2026, 9:31 am

Story
I am Herbie, and my heart is fully loaded of love...AND IT`S ALL FOR YOU! The only thing bigger than my radar-dish ears is my smile, and I can`t help but smile when I look at you. While the staff is still getting to know me, I`ve made friends with both humans and other dogs quickly and have had nothing but positive interactions. I hope you will race in today and ask to meet me!

Story
I am Blink 182, and I am here to tell you all the small things that make me grand! I arrived to ACAR with a permanent winky face...I only have one eye. I`ve had to overcome a lot, but the medical staff has been very kind to me and is helping me with my other eye. There is a possibility I may become fully blind one day, but you should know that I see with my heart, not my eyes! Once I get to know my surroundings and my people, I am exceptionally loyal and stick to you like glue. Having a seeing-eye human would be lovely, but you should know I also enjoy the company of other calm, respectful dogs. Don`t blink...you might miss the opportunity to make me your forever good boy! Let`s meet soon!

Story
Meet Brutus! Brutus is big. Brutus is goofy. Brutus is loveable with a capital L. This handsome hunk is house-trained, food-motivated, and knows how to shake. He’s a proud toy hoarder, a professional couch potato, and surprisingly chill about bath time. Brutus lives to meet new people and is always down for a good belly rub and a backseat nap. As for other pets? Brutus says, “Nah, I’m a one-man show.” He’s all the dog you’ll ever need—loyal, snuggly, and ready to be your best friend. If you like your dogs big, your cuddles extra big, and your life filled with slobbery love, Brutus is your guy!

Gainesville, FL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
At 9 years old, Rocco has truly mastered the art of chill. This low-energy gent LOVES toys—not just playing with them, but sitting with them, napping with them, and carrying them like prized possessions. He’s a vocal guy with a big heart, a love for snacks, and a serious cuddling game once he knows you. Rocco walks great on a leash, lives for affection, and is happiest in a calm home where he can be your one and only. He’s not a fan of other pets, and new people can take a minute to warm up to, but once he does, he’s yours forever. He’s available as a foster-to-adopt, and his adoption fee is fully waived thanks to the Danny Boy Adoption Fund. If you’ve got a quiet home and a toy basket to spare, Rocco just might be your perfect match.
